The Beginning of the End

The beginning of disease is slight
debility or disorder of some of the vital
organs. the stomach, the liver or the
bowles usually. There arc dyspeptic
symptoms. the liver is troublesome, the
skin grows tawney aud unhealthy look
ing, there are pains in the right side or
through the right shoulder blade, the
climax is often an utter prostitution of
the physical energies, perhaps fatal
issue But if the difficulty is met in time
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is always effective as a remedy, and il
should be resorted to at an early stage.
there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely
cured diseases. Far better is it, also. TO
employ this safe remedial agent in fever
and ague. and other malarial complaints,
than quinine and other potent drugs,
which even when they 10 prove eff ctus
for time, ruin the stomach ami impair

THE BAPrIsT's MESSENGERS.

| Now when John had heard in the prison the
| works of Christ he sent two of his disciples,
| eSc.-Matt. X: 2-G.
Josephus tells us that this prison was
the fortress of Mach9us, or Makor, a
| strong and gloomy castle, built by Alex
ander Jann9us, and strengthened by Herod
| the Creation the borders of the desert, to
| the north of the Dead Sea, and on the from
tiers of Arabia We know enough of soil
tary castles and Eastern dungeons to realize
what horrors must have been involved for
any man in such an Imprisonment; what
daily risk OF a violent and unknown death.
How often in the worlds history have
even the most generous and dauntless
spirits been crushed and effeminated by such
hopeless captivity! To a child
Of freedom and of passion, to a rugged,
passionate, untamed spirit like that of
John, such prison was worse than death.
For the palms Of Jericho and the balsams
OF Engedi, for the springing of the beauti-
full gazelles amid the mountain solitudes,
and the reflection of the moonlight on the
mysterious waves of the Salt Lake, he had
nothing now but the chilly damps and
eramping letters of dungeon, and the
brutalities OF such jailor as a tetarch like
Antepas would have kept in fortress like
Makor. In that black prison, among its

lures" believed by Jewish legend to haunt
its whole enyironment,-w cannot wonder
if the eye of the Gagged eagle began to

MUST CARPETS GO?

Some at least of our rooms would be
better without them, although ] am hard
ly prepared to entirely surrender carpets
for hard floors think that many of our
bedrooms would be better il "carpeted'
with mating. But the st. Louis Globe
Democrat has pronounced opinion, and
this opinion is entirely adverse to carpets,
at least in summer time. 1t says:
Carpets, curtains lambrequins, etc.,
may be deemed necessary parts of house
furnishing, but they all collect dust and
dirt Of a more dangerous character. In
the winter they may be tolerated, but
when summer comes they should all be
removed to places OF security and pro-
teeted from light and insect destroyers.
The floors should be oiled with boiled lin
seed oil, and wherever coverings of any
kind are desirable, on account of lessening
sounds, rugs and mats should take tho
place of carpets, and plain shades and
shutters will suffice to exclude too giaring
a light and diminish the dust nuisance.
Floors thus treated are kept clean much
easier. as the oil becomes Incorporated with
the wood and makes hard finish; as il is
oxidized by contact with the air. The
same treatment of floors. removal of ear
pets and unnecessary materials for the
Judgment Of dust and organic Impurities
will make the sleeping apartments much
more wholesome. 1t has long been ac-
knowledged that carpets are entirely out
of place in the apartments occupied by the
sick, that they retain the poison of such
diseases as smallpox, diphtheria and
scarlet fever; and it seems strange that
crusade against them has not been long
since organized In the far-off future,
when people shall have learned moder-
ate amount of sanitary knowledge, the
carpet must CO.

BENEFITS OF AN Erect ArrIruDE

An erect bodily attitude is of more inn
portanee than people generally imagine.
Crook ed bodily positions maintained FOR
any length of time are always injurious,
whether in sitting. standing or lying pos
ture, whether sleeping or walking. To
sit with the body leaning forward on the
stomach, or to one side, with tho heels
elevated on level with the hands, is not
only in bad taste, but exceedingly detrim-
entail TO health; it cramps the stomach
presses the vital organs, interrupts free
motion of the chest, and enfeebies
the functions of the abdominal an
thoracic organs, and, in fact, unbalances
the whole muscular system. Many child
rem become slightly hunch-baeked or
severely ound-shouldercd by sleeping with
the head raised on high pillow. Wher
any person finds it easier to sit or stant
or walk in crooked position than /
straight one, such person may be sure his
muscular system is badly deranged, and
the moro careful he is to preserve
straight or upright position, and get bacl
again, the better.-Pople's Health Journal

EQUALITY AND PURITY.

The reciprocal attraction of two natures
ont of a thousand million, for each other,
is the strongest but one of the most un-
noted proofs of beneficent Creator. 1t
is the fairest, sweetest Rose of Time,
whose petals and whose perfume expand
ed by their tenderness and beauty. For
folded to its heart, we find the germ of
every home; of those beatitudes, father
hood, motherhood, brotherly and sisterly
affection, the passion Of the patriot, the
calm and steadfast love of the philan-
thropist. For the faithfnlness of two,
each to the other, alone makes possible
the true home, the righteous nation, the
great, kind brotherhood of man. The in
most instincts of each human spirit must
cry oat to God.
Marriage is not an episode in mans
life and an event in a woman's, it is the
sum of veal and woe to both. There are
in this modern land and age as many noble
men minated, because they had to be, as
there are women. Because of memory
cherished. dream unfulfilled, an ideal
unrealized, duty brayely met, many of
the noblest men living go their way alone.
Sometimes think that of the two it is
man who loves home the best, for while
woman is hedged into it by a thousand
considerations of expediency and prejudice,
he chooses it freely and royalty for her
sake who is to him the worlds supreme
attraction. Frances II. Willard, ia Annual
